ENGLISHWelcome to a new Video of the Week .Today I would like to make a parenthesis, beyond the opera sequence of opera of the lastest Sundays to pay tribute to Josep Mª Andreu , who passed away in Barcelona on 21 March, aged 93.Rewarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya with the Creu de Sant Jordi in 2006, Andreu was a great poet, who provided great literary dignity to the lyrics of many of the most famous and popular Catalan folk songs, through cooperations with many major artists of the movement of protest called Nova Cançó (New Song), and the Catalan folk song that followed.His contribution, especially in the 60's and 70's, helped the process of normalization of the Catalan language in a time when the repressive policy of Francoism dramatically persecuted, among the many symbols of identity, languages which were not Castilian, inside the Spanish state .Andreu worked with the major artists of the Catalan music scene of the second half of the last century, from Lluís Llach to Núria Feliu, from Raimon to Salomé, among many others.However, his name is also linked to that of Catalan artists of other kinds, such as the opera singers, as in the case of Montserrat Caballé and Josep CarrerasIf you hace just some of his discs, you must have read his name above the lyrics of some songs: Et portaré una rosa of 1987, L'arbre, or translations of some international lyrics in Catalan as "Night and Day (Dia i nit)" or the beautiful "One more kiss, dear" , adapted to Un petó més, amor meu, sung with her friend and sister of Sants district, Núria Feliu.We can make several examples to show Josep Carreras' interest to the popular repertoire, includinf that of his country: one of them is the album "T'estim the t'estimaré" of 2006, a work that bears the name of one the most famous songs of his friend and composer Antoni Parera Fons, who produced it.This disc collects some of the most beloved songs by the Catalan popular audience, along with foreign ones translated into Catalan, as in the case of My Way (Com he fet always) , and the previously mentioned Night and DayIf you look at the tracklist, you realize that the name of Josep M ª Andreu appears frequently, especially next to that of the composer with whom he had collaborated most, that is Lleó Borrell.The song I choose today is definitely one of the most representative of Andreu's, Se'n va anar. This song, interpreted by Salomé was declared the winner of the fifth edition of the Festival de la Cançó Mediterrania, in 1963 , in the middle of Francoism.As often happened with other ones of his experiments in the popular repertoire, Carreras' voice proves to be extremely versatile, and provides the song with a particular depth. It isclassic but not too lyrical, and in this case it matches up with the literary dignity of Andreu's lyrics. The elegance of his phrasing and the extraordinary sensitivity of his interpretation make it a perfect version to pay tribute to the generous contribution of a poet who never hesitated to put themselves at the service of music and the artists that have made great the Catalan songs of that period, claiming the prestige of thier own native language and culture.
